Still Used

In the spring of 2026, AI entered this county. The County Construction Committee promotes digital office. He is 52 years old, and he is the only one in the department who cannot operate the new system. He went to the provincial capital to attend training classes without telling his family, and caught the train at 4:40 a. M. Every Saturday. I studied for three months, passed the exam, and was then transferred to manage files. The county hospital has adopted a smart medical system. She has worked in the laboratory for twenty-six years. In the past, she could puncture the blood vessel with one injection, but now she only needs to put the sample into the machine. Her "touch" is no longer needed. The school has enabled AI-assisted teaching. AI can write essays with full marks, solve all questions, and answer all questions. He was 18 years old and in his third year of high school. He suddenly discovered that the idea that "reading books changes your destiny" that he had grown up with since he was a child was no longer valid in the face of AI. The master at the car repair shop downstairs couldn't understand the fault code of the new electric car. The proprietress of the supermarket across the street received a demolition notice - the "smart new city" planned by AI, and her store was not included in the drawings. This year, everyone received a piece of news: AI intelligence will surpass the sum of all humans in three years. Some people go to provincial capitals to learn AI, some are waiting for robots to take over, some have closed their shops that have been open for 20 years, and some have finished their last handwritten essay in the college entrance examination examination room. They are all using what little they have to catch up with the tsunami of the times that cannot be caught. There are no heroes in the book. Only some things that were "thought to be useful" - hands, experience, strength, a job, a street - were taken away from people one by one. But that body, this life, and the days of getting up as usual are still in use.
